Over all, the Desire X is a stylish smartphone with a nice back panel and pleasing grip that leaves a premium finish feel to the hands. One certainly needs to be careful with the back panel, which picks up dents and scratches quickly.

Basically, you have to push the white back panel hard to detach it. There is no latch, button or crevice to hint at where the back panel opens. For instance, the back panel of the Desire X is a hair-tearing expedition to open. Desire X is a nice phone to hold but it does have some biting issues. The Desire X stays quite comfortably in the hands and the matte finish provides some grip. There is no dedicated camera button and the micro USB port for charging is on the left side. The volume control keys are located on the right of the phone. HTC has placed the power/sleep/unlock button on the top center and to its left is the 3.5 mm audio port. The speaker grill mesh is located at the bottom of the back panel on the left of the Beats Audio logo. The camera sensor at the back is decorated with a metallic strip carrying circular grooves. On the top left of the back panel is the camera with LED flash on top of the image sensor. The matte finish back has an HTC logo on the left side stacked vertically. Between the plastic back cover and the screen is an aluminium bezel strip running around the screen. It features a nice 4 inch Super LCD display with rounded corners and has a plastic back cover with matte finish. HTC’s Desire X takes design inspiration collectively from the HTC One X and other Desire series devices. Here is our account of the brief time we spent with the Desire X.

Desire X is meant for customers on a slightly higher mid-range budget. The design of HTC’s Desire X has been inspired by the HTC One X smartphone, and the device is packed with enough hardware to deliver suitable performance. This smartphone basically rests between the Desire V and Desire C models. Joining the Desire V and Desire C was the last announced smartphone Desire X. So far, we have seen the Desire and One series of Android smartphones available globally.

HTC has introduced a new style of branding phones with single or double letters at the end.
